Traverse & Pivot

TRAVERSE                              (right multi-task handle)

Roll the thumb ball to the left to move the carriage or 
forks to the left. Roll the ball to the right to move the 
carriage or forks to the right. 

The farther you move the ball from neutral, the faster 
the carriage or forks will move.

Before you traverse a load, make certain it will clear 
the platform.

PIVOT                          (left multi-task handle)

Push the thumb ball to the left to pivot the forks 
clockwise. Push the ball to the right to pivot the forks 
counter clockwise.

Before you pivot a load, make certain it will not poke 
or intrude into the operator area.

AUTO PIVOT 

This feature allows you to traverse and pivot at the 
same time, keeping the mast and forks within the 
running lines of the truck.

Press the trigger on the front of the left multi-task 
handle. Then roll the traverse thumb ball in the 
direction you want the mast and forks to traverse. The 
forks will traverse and pivot automatically.
